Lizzo Scores Legal Victory as Several Harassment Claims Dismissed
Lizzo has achieved a significant legal victory in the flurry of accusations against her. A judge has dismissed several claims from a lawsuit filed by former stylist Asha Daniels, dealing a blow to the narrative of a hostile work environment around the Grammy-winning artist. Though waves of similar accusations followed Daniels’ initial claims, the courts are now siding with Lizzo on several key points.
Judge Separates Lizzo From Personal Company
A Los Angeles federal judge has determined that Lizzo should be considered separate from her touring and payroll companies. This ruling means that Lizzo herself will not be penalized for the actions of her employees, a key win for the singer. However, Big Grrrl Big Touring Inc., Lizzo’s management company, remains a defendant in the ongoing legal battle.
Daniels initially named Lizzo in a 2023 lawsuit, alleging the singer oversaw an “unsafe, sexually charged workplace culture”. Daniels, who served as a wardrobe assistant for Lizzo, also claimed she was not paid for a 2023 tour. The judge dismissed these claims against Lizzo, suggesting Daniels should have pursued her claims against Big Grrrl Big Touring Inc., not Lizzo personally.
Jurisdictional Issues Lead to Dismissal of Claims
Adding to Lizzo’s favor, the judge also dismissed certain claims due to geographical reasons. Daniels had primarily worked with Lizzo during her European tour, and the judge determined that state-specific employment laws crucial to Daniels’ case do not apply. Demand that occupational laws from Daniels’ home state don’t necessarily reflect the legal landscape across the continent.
As the legal battle continues, it’s undergo a transformation. Lizzo, initially facing a barrage of accusations of exploiting and endangering her employees, is recategorized into a battle against her company. Lizzo herself maintains innocence, stating that the “sensationalized stories” come from former team members who have already admitted their behavior was inappropriate and unprofessional.
What are the specific allegations made against Lizzo in the lawsuit filed by her former dancers?
